There are only a few weeks left of Community Groups for this quarter.  Please be sure you have made time to serve and plan social activities for your group! 

MY STORY

1. Which do you believe more:

• What you hear?
• What you see?
• What you want?

2. Describe a time recently when you woke up very early to do something outside your normal routine. 

3. Looking back at your notes from this week’s teaching, was there anything you heard for the first time or that caught your attention, challenged or confused you?

DIGGING DEEPER

1. Jesus rising from the dead is foundational to the Christian faith because it is the proof that Christ is who he claimed to be – our Savior and God’s only son. What importance does 1 Corinthians 15:12-19 place on Christ’s resurrection for us in our Christian walk?

(See how important the truth of the resurrection is! “Everything depends on our retaining a firm hold on this doctrine in particular; for if this one totters and no longer counts, all the others will lose their value and validity.” Martin Luther)

2. What do Romans 5:6-8 and Romans 6:5-7 add to your understanding of the importance of Christ’s death and resurrection for us?

(The work of Jesus on the cross for us is God’s ultimate proof of His love for you. If the cross is the ultimate demonstration of God’s love, it is also the ultimate demonstration of man’s hatred.  It also proves that the height of man’s hatred can’t defeat the height of God’s love.  God calls us, in participation with Him, to actively do day by day with the flesh just what He has already done with the old self – to crucify it, make it dead to sin.  If we let the new self within influence the mind, the will, and the emotions, then we will find the battle less intense. We are set free from sin because the old self has died with Jesus on the cross.  Now a new self, a free self, lives!)

3. What will you remember most from the Gospel of Mark to sharpen your focus of who Jesus really is?
